The Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a new Survey and Certification Letter
updating the guidance on home health agency (HHA) certification when there is a
change of ownership.
The letter, Home Health Survey and Certification Activities Related to Program Safeguards: Change of Ownership, advises that
HHAs that undergo a change in majority ownership within three years of their
initial Medicare enrollment or within three years of a previous change in
majority ownership must enroll in the Medicare program as a new HHA, obtain a
new State survey or deemed status accreditation, and sign a new Medicare
provider agreement.
